This is probably old news but Oldtown Kopitiam finally opened a branch in Bukit Mertajam 大山脚. The kopitiam is big and may be the 2nd largest branch in Penang. I think Old Town Kopitiam at New World Park remains as the largest.

Old Town Kopitiam in Queensbay has more food and drinks available for order compared to the other branches.

One of them is Twin White Shake, a much thicker version of the usual iced white coffee. Priced at RM3.80, it is only available cold and its serving size is very small. It was a nice try, but next time I will stick to the usual iced white coffee lol.

Another item is Nasi Rendang Chicken (RM7.80) It sure looked yummy but does not taste as good as Nasi Lemak Special and Curry Chicken Rice. Just my opinion-lah.. the sambal was excellent though

We had to try this, Double Butter Toast (RM2.00) It’s on the chef’s recommendation list and every table ordered one. So we figured that it should be good. It tasted good alright, the toast was really crunchy. But the butter wasn’t oozing out from the toast as depicted in the menu

Curry Mee (RM5.80) was ok, the gravy was not thick enough. Penang hawkers’ curry mee is still the best.

Lastly, Old Town White Coffee that I can never get enough of lol.

So I was on a mission to Ipoh for white coffee last weekend, thanks to 8TV’s HoChak. Few weeks ago, the last segment of the programme introduced Ipoh white coffee. The moment I finished watching it, I said to myself, “Dang I must get some of those!”

And whaddya know, according to a camera-selling-uncle I met in Kinta City’s Jaya Jusco, the kopitiams in Old Town close after 6pm! So my mission was a failure. But I was determined, I shall not return without white coffee in my stomach! And that’s how I ended up in Chatter Kopitiam.

Chatter Kopitiam is situated in Jusco’s ground floor. One would easily mistake this shop with Old Town Kopitiam due to their similar design. Even the food offered is similar, Nissin noodles, nasi lemak, toasts… Shown above is Peanut Butter Toast @ RM1.40 - 2 slices of toasted bread with peanut butter sandwiched in between. It tasted quite good actually, a bit saltish on the outside. But they were very stingy with the peanut butter. Hmm.

Ahhh.. what I’ve been waiting for the whole day. Hot Chang Jiang White Coffee @ RM1.80. It certainly looked like a cup of normal Nescafe/Kopi Susu anyone can make, anytime at anywhere. Luckily that’s not the case for its taste. White Coffee is certainly more fragrant, and tastes more ‘kao’ than normal coffee. BTW, I thought white coffee should have a layer of whitish bubble on top, like cappuccino?

This is the iced Chang Jiang White Coffee, priced @ RM1.90. I like it because it didn’t lose its thickness with the added ice. Anyway if anyone knows where to get the best white coffee in Ipoh, do provide the information and help a poor soul lol. Thanks first!
